Just arrived a few minutes ago, and already out on the shelves the following items:
Mozzarella di buffalo, yes real cape buffalo milk imported from Italy and in hot demand we only have 12 balls for the week.
Taleggio Imported from Italy this is the real deal. If you have never tried it I would suggest you get here soon.
Sea Stack from Mt. Townsend Creamery in Port Townsend, WA a soft cow's milk cheese dusted with ash and sea salt.
Fleur Vert a fresh, soft goat's milk cheese from France covered with Tarragon and pink pepper corns.
Roquefort the roquefort that we carry is different than others, hand made, aged in granite caves and not too salty, with a creaminess that will blow your mind, seriously.
Fra'Mani Pate both Mousse and Campangola. These are the BEST pates out there. Trust me.
Fra'Mani Sopressata, Toscano, Gentille and Nostrano. all hand made by chef Paul Bertolli. Some of the best salumi being made in this country today.
Rusticella Pasta we have the orzo back in stock, great for summer pasta salads and more of the potato gnochi as it seems to be a big hit. We have also just received our first shipment of ANELLINI. These are small ring shaped pastas. One of our customer from the Tri Cities requested this and here you go.
This is just a short list of what we received in this morning, so come on down and check it out. Cheers.

Bruschetta

Today is Thursday August 20, 2009. Tomato season is in FULL SWING now. We have some lovely locally grown tomatoes that we have received and today I am making bruschetta.

For those of you that don't know bruscetta is toasted slices of bread. I know, toast, why can't they just call it toast? Because BRUSCHETTA sounds sooo much cooler. Think about it, if I offered you toast with tomato, you'd probably say "thanks, I'm OK, no." But if someone offers you Bruschetta then it's like "hell yes!"

So toasted bread rubbed with a little fresh garlic with some Italian tomato salsa? or Bruschetta pomodoro? Either way we're making it in store to day and with the heat that the weather dudes are predicting, I'd say either way sounds like a pretty tasty lunch or snack. Add a little glass of wine or beer and its a party in your mouth! OK, maybe not a party, but still, good times. . .good times. Cheers.
